Category Archives: Genome Releases

A quick update on this site to report we are continuing to sequence genomes at a fast pace due to the efforts of the DOE JGI’s work and collaborating labs preparing DNA and RNA. The number of genomes in the Mycocosm system is now more than 1000 and the 1KFG project has contributed many hundred to this effort. We are working phylogenetic and comparative genomic papers to describe more of what can be learned from these data about the evolution and biology of fungi.

We’ve been busy preparing DNA/RNA samples and data analsyes and bad about blogging about the data release progress — but see linked below the last 100 genomes released by JGI from 1KFG and other fungal projects over the last 9 months. There are more than 800 genomes in the JGI Mycocosm resource (counting a few that are about to be released as public).

Publications using these data are published or in press and will write a more complete summary in the coming months.

1KFG is pleased to announce the public release of the genome of Pseudovirgaria hyperparasitica CBS 121739 P. hyperparasiticais part of an unclassified group of Dothideomycetes (Ascomycota; Dothideomycetes) and its phylogenetic position will be evaluated as part of phylogenomic analyses in the 1KFG project.

1KFG is pleased to announce the public release of the genome ofTothia fuscella CBS 130266 T. fuscellais classified in the family Microthyriaceae (Ascomycota; Dothideomycetes;Microthyriales), and is currently the first completed genome for the family and one of two targeted – the other is Microthyrium microscopicum which is nearing completion at JGI as well.

1KFG is pleased to announce the public release of the genome ofClathrospora elynae CBS 161.51. C. elynae is classified in the family Diademaceae (Ascomycota; Dothideomycetes;Pleosporales), and is currently one of two targeted completed genomes from this family.

Clathrospora elynae was contributed to the 1KFG project by Pedro Crous and Manfred Binder at CBS-KNAW. As always, please contact the PIs associated with unpublished 1KFG genomes for permission prior to the use of any data in publications.

1KFG is pleased to announce the public release of the genome ofVerruculina enalia CBS 304.66. V. enalia is classified in the family Didymosphaeriaceae (Ascomycota; Dothideomycetes;Pleosporales), and is currently the only completed genome from this family and one of two targeted for the family.

Verruculina enalia was contributed to the 1KFG project by Pedro Crous and Manfred Binder at CBS-KNAW. As always, please contact the PIs associated with unpublished 1KFG genomes for permission prior to the use of any data in publications.

1KFG is pleased to announce the public release of the genome ofPolyplosphaeria fusca CBS 125425. P. fuscais classified in the family Tetraplosphaeriaceae (Ascomycota; Dothideomycetes;Pleosporales), and is currently the only completed genome from this family and one of two targeted for the family.

Polyplosphaeria fusca was contributed to the 1KFG project by Pedro Crous and Manfred Binder at CBS-KNAW. As always, please contact the PIs associated with unpublished 1KFG genomes for permission prior to the use of any data in publications.
